Re: NT Server consolidation

1)  No one dials into a PC.  Normally they dial into the Cisco router.
From there they get full access.  To control other PC's they use Tivoli
(replacement under evaluation).  The router is a cheaper and more efficient
solution than either using a bank of modems on a PC or a bank of PC's with
modems for dial in.  And the fun part is that work will hook up the PC they
provided for my home use shortly using DSL.  This should be faster than the
2nd phone line I currently turn in on my expense reports.

We had the W2k on the ?ipcs?.  We removed that awhile ago.  But they want
me to reconfigure it again.  I forget why we dropped it - probably for a
faster PC.

I think the command you are looking for is WRKNWSD for Work with Network
Server Descriptions.  (Think W2K, not NT).  Options include:
1=Create   2=Change   3=Copy   4=Delete   5=Display   6=Print
9=Retrieve Source...
8=Work with Status   10=Add link   11=Remove link
12=Work with NWS Storage Spaces...

I am interested in knowing what an nt server cannot do when it is run on
the iseries that it can do when it is run on a pc.
I assume printing is done to ip attached printers.
what about writing to a cd rom or laser disk?
or attaching modems so that remote tech support of the nt appl can dial in
and diagnose a problem?

also, while I am asking, is there a WrkNtSvr cmd that allows the iseries
user to see all the nt servers on the system, provides options for booting
the server, shows all the processes running on it ?

thanks,
Steve Richter

 Phil,

 Virus are OS and application based, as opposed hardware based.  Therefore
 you should run virus protection software on NT servers running on an
 AS/400, just as you would any other NT server.
